New Years Day Wheeling; Devils Canyon (1 Viewer)

[Tools R Us]

Made it home. They graded the first few miles. Tony in about the same spot last year vs this year.

Still one of my favorite AZ trails. Some call it Easter island, for all of the standing rock.

Awesome views, despite the grading.

The grading stopped just before the forever long climb.

The camera is far too crude of a tool, this stuff doesn't fit.

Climbing up to Sulphide Del Ray, so the kids could play in the snow.

Some snow on the way down.

Well: Happy New Year!

It was an awesome start to 2012.

Yep, great trails, views, but most of all friends, killer way to spend New Years Day!

The Nittos didn't slip once in the snow, ice and mud (except for the dumbass attempt at the "sledding" hill). You listening Pete?

Unfortunately, they seem to be showing up everywhere, especially south of the US 60 between Superior and Globe.

A buttload of exploration has been done and is being done over there.

I'm guessing that copper is the primary target? I know I get a lot of water/road improvement notices from the Forest Service for them.
